Retail security

Retail loss happens in plain sight during trade and behind a roller door after close. Shrinkage at the shelf, grab-and-runs at the entry, and break-ins once the lights are off. Savvy puts a visible, licensed presence on the floor through trading hours, with mobile patrols and alarm response covering the store after close, and CCTV monitoring across both. We work the way retail works, fitting your trading hours, your staff and your incident process.

What is at risk

What walks out the door

Retail exposure runs from the shop floor to the stockroom and the back door. High-turn stock, open access during trade and cash on site make a store a target in daylight and after close.

Risk peaks at open and close and through the after-hours window, when the store is empty or the team is stretched.

  • Stock on the floorhigh-turn lines, electronics, fashion, displayed goods
  • Cash and registerstills, safes, end-of-day takings
  • Stockroom and deliveriesback-of-house stock, inwards goods, returns
  • Storefront and glassentry doors, windows, roller shutters after close
  • Staff and customersfloor staff and shoppers during incidents

Each one is what our loss-prevention guards, mobile patrols, and CCTV monitoring keep eyes on, in trade and after close.

  • 01 A presence on the floor that customers and staff can see, not just cameras.
  • 02 Cover that runs through trade and carries on after the doors close.
  • 03 Fast response to alarms and incidents, so a problem does not sit and grow.
  • 04 Guards who can de-escalate and support your team under pressure.
  • 05 Reporting that gives you a clear record of every incident and check.
